Bowling Has Appeal For Many Athletes, Kegling Champ Says Br LEE JOUGLARD ABC Singles Champion New York iw If there la one sport that appeals to stars in every sport, it Just has to be bowling. In touring the coun try as an exhibition bowler, I found standout performers in every spore you can name baseball, football, boxing, bas ketball, the works who also excel on the bowling lanes. Take baseball, for instance. I'll bet you didn't know that one of the game's read hook-ball artists and I mean bowling ball artists is lefty Billy Pierce. The Chicago White Sox star is a lefty bowler, too, in cidentally. Billy sharpens his game dur ing the winter months at his home outside Detroit and finds it a source of real family fun. His wife, Gloria, has taken to the sport, and his 4-year-old youngster, Billy Jr., comes along to watch. Billy's teammate, Nellie Fox, Parsons Has Eye on 2nd In Softball JACKSOK COUNTY SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION W. L. Pet.

In the first game at Camp White's Memorial field, the Rogue Valley Dairy Maids go against the unbeaten Crater Lake Motors crew. Time of the game is 7 p.m. Parson's Motors plays Courtesy Chevrolet in the second game. A, story Friday inadvertently had Parsons in a second spot tie with M and W Chain Saw but a less hurried check of stand ings shows M and W a half game in front of the Motor team. And Morse Motors is not in the cellar but a half game out of it. Parsons has opportunity this week also to regain second place alone since it has a game Thursday. It meets the Dairy Maids in the opener at Camp White that evening while Crater Lake and Courtesy follow in a brush between car dealer teams. is even more of a bowling fan. Nellie owns and operates twenty alleys in his home town of Chambersburg, Pa., and his rec reation center is one of the East's real bowling showplaces Equipped with automatic pin- spotters and underlane ball re turns, "Nellie Fox Bowl," as it's been named, operates 24 hours a day. And Nellie admits he's his own best customer. He be longs to two ABC-sanctioned bowling leagues and works out on the lanes several times a week. Pro footballers are another group who agree that bowling is healthful and relaxing. Otto Graham, formerly of the Cleve land Browns and one of the game's all-time greats, finds bowling a wonderful sport be cause as he puts it: "You haven t got eleven guys trying to knock the living daylights out of you. Gus Mauis The Maples If you think Gus Lesnevich packed a wallop in the ring,, you should see his bowling "punch." Gus mauls the maples at lanes near his home in Cliffside Park, N.J., and boasts an average that approaches the 180 mark. Jim Braddock, Tony Canzoneri, and Rocky Marciano are boxers who look to bowling for competitive fun without the rock and sock of the prize ring. The allest bowler in the coun try he is the tallest basketball player, too, I guess is without a doubt Wilt The Stilt Chamber lain of the University of Kansas. Wilt, who stretches to just under seven feet, disproves the theory that a real tall person can't be a good bowler. Despite his sta ture, he's able to bowl with the best of the amateurs Essex Final Achieved By Gibson Manchester, Mass. (W Wimbledon Queen Althea Gib son won her way into the final of the Essex Country club's 30th annual Women's Invitational Tennis tournament Saturday, turning back Darlene Hard for the fifth time in two years, 6-4, 2-6, 8-6.

The unique feature of these shingles is the graining which is actually built up on a base shingle. A specially designed graining roll deposits additional layers of asphalt and mineral granules on the tab portion of a standard asphalt shingle. The ridges act as reinforcing ribs, making WOODTEX a shingle of greater strength, rigidity and weight (250 lbs.) providing a roof of higher wind resistance and many more years of satisfactory service. Come in and let us show you the superior quality and beauty of Woodtex, see the large selection of colors and blends! Nothing Down FREE ESTIMATES 3 Years to Pay on Re-roofing Jobs SMITH DYf.GE LUMBER CO. Protland The time is rapidly approaching for "football's finest hour," the annual Shriners" hos pital all-star game, featuring Oregon's future college stars. The colorful gridiron spec tacle, which has netted nearly 5250,000 for the Shriners' hos pital since the inaugural in 1948, will unfold next Staurday night (Aug. 24) in Multnomah sta dium, and game officials are op timistic about the chances of a 20,000 or better crowd. "Advance sale of reserved seats has been running well ahead of the same period a year ago which ordinarily indicates a larger game crowd," Eugene W. Ferguson, the game s managing director, reported. Observers who have watched the State and Metropolitan all star squads in practice the past few days are anticipating a high scoring, free-wheeling contest that could Bo either way. If either team is given an edge by the prognosticators, it is State, coached by Fred Spiegelberg of Medford. Backs Awe Coaches The Staters boast a backfield that can do everything, and more than one college coach has been on the sidelines at the Uni versity of Portland the past few days, casting covetous eyes on such high-stepping backs as Roger Johnson of Marshfield, Jack Temple of McMinnville, Al Trotter of Tillamook and Earl Schult of Redmond. These samecoaches also have been taking good looks at Gary Grill of Albany, Roy Burns and Allan Leach of Reedsport, Royce McDaniel of Sweet Home and Dick McLaughlin of Medford. A coach at one of the larger colleges who asked not to be identified asserted that "I have been watching Shrine teams since .the game started and there's no doubt this is the finest collection of backs in the his tory of the game." State's talents aren't limited to the backfield, as a quick glance at the roster of linemen will prove. Among the stand outs to date are Neil Plumley, the 6-5, 220-pound tackle from Medford; Barry Bullard, a 6-4, 220-pound tackle from Marsh field high, and Jim Richards, rangy end from Albany. Colorful Pageantry The Metros, coached by Ralph Harper of Benson Tech, figure to match the State's backs with such performers as Ken Woch- nick of West Linn, Bob Eutler of Benson, Bob Schloredt of Gresham, Marty Gill of Central Catholic and Jay Telton of Mil- waukie. Up front the Metros have Gar ry Stensland, 22-pound tackle from Gresham, Mike ' Kline, a 218-pound tackle from Beaver ton, and Larry Calcagno, 156- pound watch charm guard from Parkrose. Others who have been impressive include Marv Cis neros, a guard from Oregon City; Larry Morgan, a presham end, and Chuck Nolte," an end from St. Helens. The game will be preceded by colorful pageantry, featuring the girls' drill team from the Se attle Chinese community. These girls have appeared on national television shows and were- in Portland for the 1956 Rose Fes tival. Approximately 50 uni formed groups will take part in the pageantry, which gets under way at 7:30 p.m. Tcikets are on sale at the J. K. Gill box office in Portland and mail orders are received at game headquarters, 1119 S.W. Park avenue, Portland.

Venturi, a 26-year-old auto salesman who turned profession al after his brilliant showing in the 1956 Masters tournament when he finished second, card ed seven birdies and used only 27 putts. Venturi missed a four-foot putt on the 18th when the ball veered off after hitting a spike mark. But the likeable newcom er didn't have any complaints. "I sure can't kick about my putting," he said, "I'm playing as good as I can and all I can do is hope it's good enough."
